A stupid belief that AF should work!!! I do have a split-prism (ebay special) focusing screen in it but I often forget to use it (like yesterday) or it's still hard to see in a darkish room. I've has decent results in just setting the focus half way between the infinity and the 2m mark (wish it had a longer throw!), set it at about f8 and fire away. The other issue is my wife uses this camera and she isn't capable of doing all this extra steps to get an in-focus pic.
I noticed in another thread that Vanbars have K7's on sale this week (need to ring and check if they still have any left) so I'll probably take my lens in one and try it out. If it fails this basic scenario it's going to cost me big time as I'm then going to try a D300s (I have some Nikkors that I can use although I'll still need a general purpose zoomy)
thanks for your interest and banter!
